In the beginning we went down to the high school to witness a debate and take notes on how it worked. Soon we were already brainstorming on Resolved topics. I came up with the idea of "Should we continue animal testing for the use of Americans." After were informed of the resolved we began to research with our teams; mine was Karl, Aria, Me, and Peter, otherwise known as KAAP. My team got Negative.
Thoughts
Throughout the debate there were multiple faults and great arguments and mannerisms. Any thought on arguments and formation of how they debate went has no hostile or harmful meaning to it. First off I would like to congratulate all the people that presented speeches, your speeches were AMAZING.Especially for the Affirmative team, or no KAAP, because of their lack of evidence in comparison to mine. The questioners seemed to have practiced this before and I would like to compliment them for that. Also I believe Nirvana's rebuttal was creatively pieced together despite having only 5 minutes. I do wish I presented my rebuttal better and there also was some confusion on what the "knock" meant.
